This is the first ever study of law in the fiction of Elizabeth Gaskell. Elizabeth Gaskell is best known today as a novelist of social realism. Until now, however, her use of law, which is crucial to her portrait of society, has never been systematically explored. This book shows that Gaskell’s fiction is rich with insights into the law of her time, and that reading her work with a lawyer’s eye deepens and enriches the reading experience. The book explores Gaskell’s work as a whole. It gives careful attention to her most famous novels, but also engages with the lesser-known novels and the shorter fiction, showing that these often overlooked works contain a wealth of original ideas and legal interest. Gaskell’s fiction is shown consistently demonstrating a skilled, accurate and critical handling of legal rules and a sensitivity to law’s personal and social effects. She does not limit herself to mid-nineteenth century issues, but enters into such fundamental questions as the individual’s obligation to obey the law, and the relation between law and fiction. The book shows that a hitherto unappreciated aspect of Gaskell’s genius as writer is that she integrates this sophisticated engagement with law seamlessly, so that it contributes to the cumulative artistic effect of her work. As a leading scholar of Victorian legal history, Paul Mitchell brings an in-depth knowledge of the law to his close readings of Gaskell. He brings out the richness and sophistication of Gaskell’s engagement with the law, and proposes both new readings and new valuations of this important novelist’s work.

"Paul Mitchell has a deep love of the human condition and celebrates it with warm, witty, wise and wonderful words. He peers deeply into the cosmic comedy and weaves poetry of humour and compassion from all its colours." - Michael McGirr"In a Paul Mitchell poem, you're never far from a grim and lucid joke that might heal your wounds in a blaze of words. And if James Tate had ever got hold of the Dalai Lama's brain, my guess is that this is the ride they'd take you on."- Kevin Brophy"This book of poetry is so readable Do I come across as surprised? Sorry. Just sometimes poetry isn't quite so open-handed. Oh, did I mention the wit?" - Jennifer Compton"High Spirits is a book that evokes 'the edge of being' and 'a dark clock' and in which 'a bunch of sharks / fall out of the sky.' Read this book for its laconic wisdom and for the eerie insights of a poem such as 'Dead People I Know'." - Kevin Hart

The "Treasure of Tadcaster Forest" is an exciting story of mystical Melves who live in a pine forest. The Melves come from Rainbow Moon, a place well beyond the brilliant stars of the Milky Way. The Melves were led to the forest by Fairy Adhor and given the special task of caring for the towering forest of pine trees and all the creatures living within the forest. After spending time with the Melves to ensure they knew their responsibilities in the forest, Fairy Adhor had asked the mightiest pine that stood in the centre of the forest to provide the Melves with a home below his massive trunk. The Great Pine had agreed and was honoured to be the one chosen to protect the Melves. Just before leaving for her home on Rainbow Moon, Fairy Adhor had given the leader of the Melves a secret message that could be used if they were ever in terrible danger. There was always danger lurking in the forest, but this time the danger was beyond anything they had ever experienced in the past. The secret to save them had long ago been lost to the memories of the Melves. Is there no hope?

Here is a master storyteller at work, someone whose faith informs his natural gifts. His deep understanding that resurrection is about our everyday lives is reflected in the stories of ordinary events, the surprises we meet along the way, and the people who enhance our love for life, our children, our partners and ourselves.

Law and Society in England 1750–1950 is an indispensable text for those wishing to study English legal history and to understand the foundations of the modern British state. In this new updated edition the authors explore the complex relationship between legal and social change. They consider the ways in which those in power themselves imagined and initiated reform and the ways in which they were obliged to respond to demands for change from outside the legal and political classes. What emerges is a lively and critical account of the evolution of modern rights and expectations, and an engaging study of the formation of contemporary social, administrative and legal institutions and ideas, and the road that was travelled to create them. The book is divided into eight chapters: Institutions and Ideas; Land; Commerce and Industry; Labour Relations; The Family; Poverty and Education; Accidents; and Crime. This extensively referenced analysis of modern social and legal history will be invaluable to students and teachers of English law, political science, and social history.

Since the elections of 1987, the Political Studies Association of Ireland has published books on each Irish general election. This latest volume covers the 1997 elections and is the first study to provide an in-depth analysis of both the campaign and the election results. Written in an accessible and nontechnical style, the contributors are internationally acknowledged experts in party politics and elections. The book follows the tradition set in previous volumes in two respects: many of the contributors have written on the same topics in earlier volumes and, where appropriate, this book continues similar themes. However, How Ireland Voted 1997 places greater attention on the election campaign itself and the characteristics of the new Dail.

Three generations are forced to confront the pervasive violence that hangs over them like a ghost, and the distances to which they have carried their forebears' pain. We. Are. Family. is a sensitive and rugged episodic novel which ruminates on the damaging idea of Australian masculinity with tenderness and dry humour. Paul Mitchell unravels the twisting threads that tie us to the past and the trauma that is handed down through families. Taking cues from Tim Winton's The Turning, it is a cyclic meditation on the slow grind of life and the interconnectedness of identity and family.
